Hey, I’m a pretty young guy and I have terrible sexual dysfunction. I have incredibly low libedoat all, almost no feeling for the opposite sex, no arousal from visual stimuli, impotence, weak nightly erections, and pleasureless orgasims. I think that all of this stems from my use of antidepressants. I didn’t have any of these problems my entire life, up until I starte Paxil and around fifteen. I always assumed it was just a crappy side effect of the drug (its a common one)and I could quit whenever & then things would go back to normal. But after 4 1/2 years, things got so bad I finally did just that. It’s been 8 months and I have all the same side effects. The only other thing that could be it is the fact that I have been a long-term, chronic pot smoker for about 4 years. I’ve heard of pot giving people sexual problems, both all of those problems? And when they’re the same side effects known to be caused by the other drug? I don’t think pot is the cause, what do you think?
Yeah, I’m going back soon. I haven’t had all my hormones checked, but it seems to me that the cause is the antidepressants I took (SSRIS). They are well known to cause all the problems I have, it just that usually the side effects go away after you stop them. But I took them for several years and there are some people who say that they had the same thing happen, there is even a yahoo group of people who stopped the drugs and they still have all these same sexual problems. But I’ve read and heard a lot about marijuana causing sexual dysfuction and it is scaring me that maybe my long term daily pot use is to blame. I know pot can cause sexual problems, but all these and at such severity where sex is wanted but not at all possible? I mean, has anyone here ever actually gotten THIS sexually messed up on just pot, even from daily use? I get potcan give you some sexual problems, but to have it totally sexually destroy you?

Pot is not the cause. Have you consulted a doc?

my bf couldn’t have an orgasm when we were first physically togetther because he had been smoking pot and now that he is not doing that anymore he has no problem. He also told me that with previous gf he would have problems becoming aroused because he was smoking pot a lot.

well any drug can do any number on your body. my suggestion is DON’T DO THEM but really go to your doctors, my cousin had something similar to this and it was because his testosterone levels were very low and imbalanced the rest of his sexual hormones
